Fresh AIR for Combustion and Ventilation

FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

WARNING

This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If not, poor fuel combustion and improper venting of flue gases will result. Carbon monoxide poisoning from backed-up flue gases could occur. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy efficient, it is not good to make it too airtight. Your home needs to breath. If your home is too airtight, fresh air has little chance of entering in. This could be dangerous if you have fuel-burning appliances. These appliances need fresh, outside air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. This heater is a fuel-burning appliance. It uses air from inside the house for combustion. It also uses this air as a draft for venting. This draft air helps move combustion gases through the vent pipe to the outdoors. If your house is too airtight, there is not enough fresh air for these items to use. Fresh air may draw back into the house through venting flues and chimneys. This will keep fuel- burning appliances from venting properly. This may cause them to release poison- ous carbon monoxide gas into your home. It is very important to provide enough fresh air to run all fuel-burning appliances.

DANGER

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be operating or venting properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater or heater venting system serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, persons with heart and lung disease and anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

GVB50P, GVB35P specifications

The Vanguard Heating GVB35P and GVB50P models represent a significant advancement in home heating technology, designed to cater to the needs of residential spaces with varying heating demands. These gas-fired boilers not only ensure optimal warmth but also focus on energy efficiency and user-friendly operation.

One of the main features of the GVB35P and GVB50P is their impressive heating capacity. The GVB35P is suitable for smaller homes or apartments, with a heating output of around 35,000 BTU, while the GVB50P is designed for larger spaces, offering an impressive 50,000 BTU. This versatility allows homeowners to select the most appropriate model for their specific requirements, ensuring efficient heating without unnecessary energy consumption.

Both models incorporate advanced condensing technology, which significantly enhances their efficiency ratings. By capturing and reusing heat that typically escapes through the flue in traditional boilers, the GVB35P and GVB50P achieve high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings. This not only reduces the overall energy bill but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, making these models an environmentally conscious choice.

The construction of the GVB35P and GVB50P features robust, durable materials aimed at maximizing longevity and reliability. The heat exchangers are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, ensuring safety and durability. Additionally, these models are equipped with a modulating gas burner, which allows for precise temperature control and minimizes energy wastage during operation.

User convenience is further enhanced by the inclusion of a built-in digital control system. This allows homeowners to easily adjust the heating settings remotely, ensuring homes are warm upon arrival without requiring constant manual input. Moreover, the low maintenance requirements of these models make them appealing to busy homeowners, as regular service intervals are reduced.

In summary, the Vanguard Heating GVB35P and GVB50P models combine advanced technology, high efficiency, and user-friendly features to deliver exceptional heating performance. Their durable construction, energy-saving capabilities, and modern controls make them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance comfort while minimizing environmental impact. Whether for a small apartment or a larger home, these boilers stand out as a reliable heating solution.
